Although it appears that the USSR has already decided to submit the application, the fear of the campaign's impact has raised concerns around him: MK Zohar, who supports the application: "Imagine the protests next to the judges who will run the trial, it pervades me" and also : The "deal" in blue and white is trying to close with Lieberman

Will change his mind at the last minute? Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been holding consultations on whether to submit the request for immunity or whether to waive it. Remember, the deadline for filing the Knesset Speaker's application is at midnight.

Concern about the prime minister's environment that it will be misused during the campaign, with his rivals abusing it during the campaign.

MK Mickey Zohar, among the main supporters of the request for immunity, told Israel Today: "The request for immunity is a personal matter of the PM and of course we will respect any decision that is made, I certainly believe that the right thing to do is to make the request. "From quiet work for the public without fear and without fear, it is time to stop the incessant persecution against him.

"The public knows very well what things are supposed to do, he understands that it is a terrible injustice to the prime minister, so I am sure he will come in droves to give us 61 seats to win the elections and give Netanyahu the required immunity. When I try to imagine the demonstrations near the home of the district judges who are supposed to To discuss the case just as they demonstrated near Mendelblit's house, I am filled with awe.

"It is clear to everyone that every prime minister's decision will be attacked by the left and the media without justification just because of the law because they are not taking any measures to oust him from office. I have no doubt that the prime minister will prove his innocence but he should do so only at the end of his term and not now Hopefully, at the end of the day, the Prime Minister will make the right decision which is the request for immunity. We'll win. "

The struggle in the Knesset

If Netanyahu does submit a request for immunity to the Speaker of the Knesset, the move will be the opening shot for the next fight - will the debate on immunity be held in the current Knesset in general or will the whole issue be rolled out to the opening of the 23rd Knesset?

The Knesset regular committee will convene tomorrow, subject to the approval of the Speaker of the Knesset, for a special meeting to discuss the request of MK Knesset Member Avi Nissenkorn (blue and white) to set up a Knesset committee to begin discussions on Netanyahu's request for immunity from the Knesset.

Incidentally, Nissenkorn initially thought that the discussion would be held at all today, but he did not make the request to convene the committee to the Knesset Speaker - the procedure during the deadline - and the meeting was adjourned for a day.

Nissenkorn decided to initiate the move after internal discussions held at the top of the Blue and White including Cockpit - with the participation of Benny Gantz, Yair Lapid, Moshe Ya'alon and Gabi Ashkenazi - reached a consensus of first importance, certainly on the eve of the 23rd Knesset to act with all power to establish a Knesset committee , To flood Netanyahu's request for immunity as an attempt to evade prosecution. Begin by discussing Netanyahu's request for immunity.

To advance this process, talks were held between blue-and-white personalities and Israeli House Speaker Avigdor Lieberman, regarding the possibility that Israeli House members who are the scales in the regular committee support the establishment of a Knesset committee to discuss Netanyahu's request for immunity. Lieberman yesterday declined to answer a question about how our Israeli representative will vote MK Oded Forer (Israel House), who was asked about it yesterday, replied "if Netanyahu will apply for immunity we will address it".

At the same time, Chairman of the House Committee, MK Avi Nissenkorn, addressed to Attorney General Ilan Yanun and asked him to refine the opinion he published in early December on the Knesset Committee's meeting to discuss the request for immunity.

White-blue officials cited the paragraph in the opinion stating that "even if at this time there was no legal obligation on the Knesset to establish the Knesset committee, if the MKs considered that the importance of discussing the request for immunity should be exceeded, the majority would already formulate a Knesset committee. At this time, I do not believe that there is a legal impediment to do so. "

The Court also stated in the opinion that "there is no disagreement with the establishment of the Knesset Committee on the obligation to discuss no delay in requesting for immunity to be submitted to it or placed on its desk."

At the same time, the issue of immunity is of course central to the political agenda. Likud member, Minister Ze'ev Elkin, said this morning in an interview here: "I do not know if Netanyahu will ask for immunity, but he is allowed to change his position and right to apply."

Elkin referred to criticisms that Netanyahu had previously reacted negatively to the question of whether he would advance any initiative to prevent his prosecution in general and the Immunity Initiative in particular.

Regarding the establishment of the Knesset Committee, Elkin said: "This can be done without turning the committee into a circus."
